Hi, I am Katherine Avritt, a 15-year veteran teacher. I am passionate about Christian education. It is my goal to equip Christian educators with tools and trips to make classroom life easier. I don‘t think I know it all, but God has allowed me to learn some things along my teaching journey, that I can pass on to you. My goal is to be a help and blessing to Christian educators, whether in the classroom or at home.
